Migration minister Mike Tapp has refused to say that President Trump should not invade Greenland after the US toppled Venezuelan dictator Maduro over the weekend. Asked by Sky News’ Sophy Ridge if Labour would condemn a move on Greenland, Tapp said:
“We’re not going to give a running commentary. Diplomacy is delicate, which means we’re not here to give a running commentary in the news.”
Meanwhile, Trump reiterated yesterday that the US “needs” the Danish (and NATO) territory. Not that Trump is likely to give Starmer a heads-up if he did take action anyway…
Craig Beaumont, executive director of the Federation of Small Businesses:
“Business sentiment is now closer to dismay than confidence.”
